Supporting education in Ethiopia What is the greenhouse effect?

Supporting education in Ethiopia What is global warming?

Supporting education in Ethiopia CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) EMISSIONS 8.5 metric tons per person 0.1 metric tons per person 18.0 metric tons per person World average 4.49 per person Who should take responsibility for reducing CO2 emissions? Source: World Bank 2008

Supporting education in Ethiopia How has climate change affected us?

Supporting education in Ethiopia What about developing countries? They are the least responsible for climate change BUT They are the most vulnerable to its effects

Supporting education in Ethiopia Focus on Ethiopia Click on the link below to see a 3 minute video of people in Ethiopia talking about the impact of climate change on their lives

Supporting education in Ethiopia The Impact of Climate Change

Supporting education in Ethiopia Maryam is 11. She is from the Dorze tribe in Southern Ethiopia. How has climate change affected her? “The well near our house has dried up. Now I have to walk for three hours every morning to fetch water from the river for my family. I can’t go to school any more because I can’t get back in time.” Maryam

Supporting education in Ethiopia What can you do to help stop climate change?

Supporting education in Ethiopia Industry Urban planning Building Transport

Supporting education in Ethiopia Use energy saving light bulbs Fill the dishwasher Use recycled paper Turn down your thermostat For more ideas check out:

Supporting education in Ethiopia In Ethiopia, people are trying different solutions to fight climate change. These farmers are planting trees. Trees absorb greenhouse gases and stop the ground from drying out.

Supporting education in Ethiopia Farmers are switching to animals which can live more easily in dry conditions. Camels and goats do not need as much water as sheep and cows.

Supporting education in Ethiopia Getting electricity from solar power is a good solution in sunny countries like Ethiopia! Solar power is clean and produces no greenhouse gases.

Supporting education in Ethiopia “The danger posed by war to all of humanity - and to our planet - is at least matched by the climate crisis and global warming. I believe that the world has reached a critical stage in its efforts to exercise responsible environmental stewardship.” UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon
